The editor of the Clinton Demo-
crat says every business man in Gin
ton takes his paper. There are men
in IIopkinsville who have lived here
for years and have never subscribed
for their home papers nor patronized
them 10 any extent. Time and again
have we gone to merchants In this
city and proposed TO duplicate in
price and quality any order they
would show for paper bags, station
cry, etc, and they have persistently
refused TO patronize home enter
prise and have sent to other states
for thoir goods. Instead Of taking
their local papers they borrow from
their neighbors and IL seems 10 be one
of the rules of their lives TO buy moth
ing in Hopkinsville that they can do
without or buy elsewhere. We are
glad to know that there is one town
in Kentucky where there are no such
men.
